Politico caught Donald Trump Jr. and DMCARobert Mueller very awkwardly hanging out at the same airport gate in Washington D.C. on Friday.
In the photo, Don Jr. -- or as he likes to call himself in his gym selfies, Donald Pump -- leans against the back wall talking on the phone. Despite his camouflage hat, he fails to blend into the airport's stark gray wall because he's wearing an unreasonably bright teal shirt. He's doing what we've all done before when we run into someone we really don't want to make small talk with: chilling on his phone.
SEE ALSO: Mueller reportedly wants to question Trump about his TweetsRobert Mueller, meanwhile, very pointedly stares at the newspaper in his hands. If he just looked up and behind him he would make eye contact with the son of the man he's leading an investigation against.
The awkwardness in that airport is so tense, you can feel it through the photo.
In case you have any doubts, Politico's Jake Sherman confirmed that the man in the offensively vibrant shirt is indeed Donald Trump Jr. According to CNN, special counsel spokesman Peter Carr confirmed that it is Mueller waiting at the gate.

Yikes.
Politico snapped the photo just one day after Trump's former lawyer, Michael Cohen, claimed that he'd tell Mueller that the president, during the campaign, knew about a sketchy 2016 meeting between Trump Jr. and Russians offering dirt on Hillary Clinton.
"If it's accurate that the other person in the photo was Donald Trump Jr.," Carr said, "Mr. Mueller was not aware of him and had no interaction with him."
Mueller's probably better off that way.
